Manly Catholic: Igniting Men to Light the World on Fire Fr. Dom's Homs - Running the Race to Heaven: All Souls Day and the Battle for Eternity
In this All Souls Day homily, Fr. Dom calls us to face the the reality of the last 4 things: death, judgment, heaven, and hell. Too many men live as if eternity doesn’t matter. But this episode will shake you awake. Heaven is your goal. Purgatory is real. Hell is forever. It’s time to get serious about your soul.
Fr. Dom breaks open the connection between All Hallows Eve, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day; a sacred triptych that reveals the Church’s battle plan for salvation. These three days aren’t separate celebrations but one unified call to holiness. On All Hallows Eve, we prepare for the saints. On All Saints Day, we honor our heavenly family. And on All Souls Day, we fight for the souls still being purified in purgatory.
The souls in purgatory need our prayers. The saints in heaven are cheering us on. And we, the Church Militant, must run the race like men who refuse to quit. Drawing from Scripture, the sacraments, and personal experience, Fr. Dom challenges men to live with eternity in mind and to aim for heaven, not purgatory.
He also lays out the Church’s roadmap to sanctity: follow the commandments, receive the sacraments, live in a state of grace, and intercede daily for the holy souls in purgatory. This episode will leave you convicted, renewed, and ready to fight for your own salvation—and for the souls still waiting to see God face to face.
Challenge for Men:
This week, earn a plenary indulgence for the souls in purgatory. Go to confession, receive the Eucharist, visit a cemetery, pray for the intentions of the Holy Father, and intercede for the faithful departed. Souls are waiting for your prayers.
Key Takeaway:
Live every day as if it were your last. Follow the commandments, frequent the sacraments, and fight for heaven like your eternity depends on it—because it does.
Powerful Quotes:
- “A saint is a sinner that never gives up.”
- “The saints are on the sidelines saying, you can do this. I did it. Model my way of life.”
- “If we don’t pray for the souls in purgatory, we commit an injustice.”
This episode will not entertain you—it will prepare you for eternity. Press play, and take up your spiritual armor. The saints are watching. The souls are waiting. The race is on.
